Lionel Messi scored on his return to the national team as Argentina stretched their world-leading unbeaten run to 30 matches with a routine 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over Venezuela on Friday.
Lionel Messi, to cement a 3-0 win over Venezuela in Friday's World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires. Argentina had already qualified for Qatar before Friday’s game and were on top throughout against the last-placed side in the South American qualifying group and the only one of the 10 South American sides never to reach the World Cup finals. They got the breakthrough their pressure deserved 10 minutes before half-time when Nicolas Gonzalez knocked home Rodrigo De Paul’s inviting low cross from six meters out. Substitute Angel Di Maria scored a lovely second in 79 minutes when he ran on to a through pass from De Paul and then chipped the ball over three Venezuelan defenders from outside the box. Messi himself got the third three minutes later when he chested down a Di Maria pass before sclaffing the ball past a helpless keeper, Wuilker Farinez. “We are very happy,” said De Paul, “we love playing in this shirt. The best thing about this group is that it treats every game as a final.” “This is what it's all about. Never letting up.” The defeat was Venezuela’s 10th in their last 12 games and the win extended Argentina’s unbeaten run under coach Lionel Scaloni to 30 games going back to July 2019.
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) -Argentina scored twice in three minutes late in the second half, including a curiously mis-hit effort from Lionel Messi, to cement a 3-0 win over Venezuela in Friday's World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires.
BUENOS AIRES : Argentina scored twice in three minutes late in the second half, including a curiously mis-hit effort from Lionel Messi, to help cement a 3-0 win over Venezuela in Friday's World Cup qualifier in Buenos Aires.
En su último partido de local por Eliminatorias antes del Mundial de Qatar, la Selección Argentina le ganó 1-0 a Venezuela e hizo festejar al público que se acercó en gran cantidad a la Bombonera. Lionel Messi, emblema y capitán del campeón de América, se ganó todos los aplausos y recibió innumerables muestras de afecto.
With Manchester United seriously out of form, it was expected that a number of players would fail to earn international call-ups. That theory held true when Marcus Rashford, David de Gea and shockingly Jadon Sancho were all snubbed by their respective international bosses.
Rodrigo de Paul llega a la selección argentina… después de mostrar en el Atlético su versión más parecida a la que deja día sí día también cuando se enfunda la albiceleste. El centrocampista ha ido subiendo sus prestaciones desde la segunda mitad del partido contra el Betis y se ha ganado de nuevo un protagonismo máximo en el medio de Simeone, muy cómodo tirado a la derecha en ese tridente junto a Herrera y Koke.
